Shades of Blue by Karen Kingsbury* A review

ABOUT SHADES OF BLUE

Brad Cutler, twenty-eight, is a rising star at his New York ad agency, about to marry the girl of his dreams. Anyone would agree he has it all … a great career, a beautiful and loving fiancée, and a fairy tale life ahead of him—when memories of a high school girlfriend begin to torment him. Lost innocence and one very difficult choice flood his conscience, and he is no longer sure what the future will bring except for this: He must find his old love and make amends. Haunted by the past and confused about the future, he turns to God seeking forgiveness and redemption.

MY REVIEWAnother Karen Kingsbury book that I absolutely love. Shades of blue is so full of true life situations and drama that there is never a boring part. Karen deals with many hard issues and the outcome isn’t always as we thought they would be. In this book you will find bad decisions, heartache, loss, loneliness, forgiveness, peace, happiness and finally joy. Shades of Blue deals with the abortion issue, which is very real in our world.Ten years ago Brad and Emma made a horrible decision that will haunt them for the rest of their lives if they don’t do something about it. Sometimes when we are young we just don’t make the best decisions and if we don’t seek an older persons advice we make big mistakes. This book is about Emma, Brad, and Laura mainly. Brad and Emma were more than friends 10 years ago, and now Laura and Brad are getting married. Brad feels he can’t go ahead with a new life until he can finish the chapter in his old life. You will see how this impacts all three of them and changes everyone’s lives.This book will have you crying and rejoicing all at once. Keep your tissues handy there isn’t a doubt you will need them. Some of the scenes are just heart wrenching and so very touching.I highly recommend this book for you to love and enjoy many times and a great gift to a special friend.
